Removing Linoleum Adhesive with White Spirit

[rsb123]

Preparing ground floor cloak room floor for tiling and scraping off the old rubbery linoleum adhesive with just a putty knife was slow going. On a small test area, a little white spirit dissolves the adhesive quite nicely and scrapes off in a jiffy.

Question: will the leftover white spirit residue impact how well tile adhesive adheres to floor? The white spirit does appear to soak into the concrete floor a bit, but thought I could scrub up the floor with soap & water to get some off.

thanks

A wash down with Sugar soap and leave to dry.. that should neutralise it to be ok ..
